Overview

Discover the people and places that made brewing a cornerstone of the Queen City’s history with a guided tour of our unique historical trail, featuring art installations and historical signage along the way! Beginning at the Tour Center on Race Street, we follow the Brewing Heritage Trail along the eastern portion of the Brewery District, sharing stories of the workers, brewmasters, and beer barons from the 19th and early 20th century. Experience the places they worked, learn the dangers they faced, and the empires they built by producing America’s best brews.

Tours include a visit into the subterranean lagering cellars and tunnels of the historic (non-operating) Schmidt Brothers / Crown Brewery, as well as outdoor visitation to historic Lafayette, Hudepohl and Kauffman Brewery structures and a pint at a local taproom. Those joining us in the underground cellar will need to be able to traverse a series of stairs leading in and out, but all guests have the option to remain topside.

Inclusions

  • Discount on merchandise in the Brewing Heritage Trail shop.
  • Visits to multiple historic brewing sites.
  • Alcoholic Beverages - This tour concludes at a local taproom for a beer or soft drink, which is included with the tour.

Wonderful tour with Lisa celebrating Father’s Day! Going down into the lager tunnels was great. She gave great history of brewing in Cincinnati and ended with a cold beer!
